For Christmas my wife got me a gift card to REI along with a note that we were going to use it on purchasing the items REI suggests to have with you on any hike or outdoors trip. It’s a 10 piece survival kit that fits in a snug ziplock bag.

When my parents gave me a gift card to REI for my birthday it was time to go redeem and last week I stocked up on my survival kit.

Ready for any conditions now should circumstances land us in a precarious situation!

It got me thinking…what’s a 10 piece survival kit for a career in media sales? Something that you carry with you into every meeting and have ready at all times should you land in a precarious professional situation.
